Lost America: Night Photography of the Abandoned West – Troy Paiva

ROY'S 2008 First time I tried to shoot this classic Amboy, California sign in at night, the owner chased me off with a shotgun. This time, there wasn't a soul to be found. © Troy Paiva

My buddy Alex Richman (Sidewalk Photography) turned me on to Paiva’s remarkable & haunting site Lost America. In correspondence with Paiva, he asked that I mention that his images are now available in the new Chonicle Book (SF)Night Vision – The Art of Urban Exploration – released July 2008 – can be bought at Amazon.com.

Hi Frank... I enjoy reading your blog. Attached is a photo I took in NYC before moving to Scottsdale, AZ. It’s from November 2002.
